Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 25.57 | 8.81 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 34.87 | 19.71 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 21.27 | -4.61 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 162.6 – 1881.56 | 185.22 – 1848.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 121.26 |
These values describe the documented climate envelope of the taxon. They are not, by themselves, a local recommendation.
Documented soil preferences
| Variable | Unit | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cation exchange capacity (CEC) | cmol(+)/kg | 4.61 – 25.79 | 6 – 21.9 |
| Clay | % | 13.61 – 41.98 | 16 – 37.23 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 24.7 | 1.45 – 15.25 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.47 – 2.6 | 0.53 – 2.35 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.19 | 4.8 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 35.83 – 80 | 42.12 – 74.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4 – 40.83 | 4.78 – 31.02 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
